Volatility Contraction Pattern: an uptrending stock whose price swings have become smaller three times in a row while volume dries up, near its yearly high.

A strict rule, so this list is often empty.

The exact rule

Uptrend, three 20-day ranges each tighter than the last, the latest under 10%, volume drying up, within 15% of the 52-week high.

Applied to the daily candles of the F&O stocks. The list is rebuilt after every close and refreshed on 15-minute delayed prices during market hours.

Example

No stock matched this rule at the last close, so there is no example today. Some rules are strict and are often empty.
